GLOBE

    The long-term research project GLOBE (Global Leadership & Organizational Behavior Effectiveness) was launched in 1994 and involves the study of 200 researchers from more than 60 countries on leadership effectiveness. The project has become one of the largest and most prestigious studies of its kind in the social sciences. 3 classic reference books on leadership and culture and more than 500 scientific articles have emerged from this project (more information).

    Greece, on the initiative of the first Director of the HRM laboratory, Emeritus Professor Nancy Papalexandris, has been present in the GLOBE research since its inception. In 2019, data of the most recent phase of the research, GLOBE 2020 were collected, under the scientific supervision of the members of the laboratory, Eleanna Galanaki and Nancy Paparexandris.

    Based on the GLOBE research, the Greek researchers of the HRM laboratory contributed as judges in the publication of the following articles and chapters:
